CONE-CARRIER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 25, 1914.

Application filed August 25, 1913. Serial No. 786,375.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. FOSTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at A-Xrlington. in the county of Baltimore and State of Mar land, hare invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cone-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cone carriers, and has for its object to provide a device for conveniently carrying a' number of filled ice cream cones so that they will not come in contact with the hands or with each other.

The invention consists of the novel constrnction and arrangement of the parts and combination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth in the following specification and pointed out in detail in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a front elevation showing my invention with the cone holders in the upright position and before being bent out in position to receive the cones. Fig. 2 is a perspective view ol same showing the cone holder bent out in position to receive the cones.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, and in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the several views thereof 1 designates a heavy piece of card-board, or other suitable material, from which are cutthe holders 2, which latter are all of the same size and provided with central apertures 3 and are perforated or indented at 4 where they join the said piece 1, so that they can be readily bent outwardly along said line 4 to the position shown in Fig. 2. At the top of the card-board 1 is provided with an "aperture 5 through which the finger is inserted when carrying the cones, or by means of which the carrier is hung up when the cones are being placed in the holders. It will be seen that the holders are bent outwardly from opposite sides of the piece 1 so that the adjoining holders either on the longitudinal rows on the vertical rows will project in opposite directions from the said piece 1 whereby when the cones are in the holders 2 they will not come in contact with each other.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A cone-carrier comprising a piece of card-board, or other suitable material, having a number of holders cut therefrom on all but their lower edges along which they are indented and adapted to be bent outwardly in opposite directions, all of said holders being of the same size and each provided with an aperture in which the cone rests.

2. A cone-carrier comprising a piece of card board, or other suitable material, having a number of holders cut therefrom indented on a line where they join the said piece of card board, and projecting from both sides of said card board, and arranged so that the adjoining holders either on'the longitudinal rows or on the vertical rows will project in opposite directions, all of the said holders being of the same size, and each provided with an aperture in which the cone rests.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES A. FOSTER. Witnesses:
